Fired Paraguayan bus drivers have themselves nailed to crosses
The drivers, from the northern town of Luque, are on their backs, nailed to wooden crosses laid out on the ground. Large nails pierce their hands at the base of the fingers.
They said they took the action in a desperate bid to be heard.
They have been nailed down for 15 days, according to Olga Ferreira de Lopez, a member of Paraguay's House of Congress who is monitoring the situation.
"There have been infections ... . Their state of health is getting complicated," she told Reuters.
Some of the drivers' wives are taking turns being nailed to crosses alongside their husbands.
